About the Author/作者介绍： Tom Jackson是一位享誉全球的童书作家，他在童书编辑行业里辛勤耕耘了20余载。迄今为止，他已经编写了80多本童书并参与了几百本童书的选题工作。其作品题材涉猎广泛,包罗万象：可以从神秘微小的史前浮游生物跨越到世界上最古老的宗教之一——印度拜火教。然而,他在大学里主修的却是自然历史、科技和与科学有关的课程。现在，Tom和他的妻子以及三个孩子一起住在英国的布里斯托尔（英国西部的港口城市）。他在布里斯托尔大学里攻读动物学专业；毕业之后，曾在泽西岛和萨里郡的动物园工作过一段时间。此外，Tom也是一名资深的环保主义者,他曾在英国的萨默塞特郡参与过植树造林的活动；也曾在越南的热带雨林里作过科考；更曾在干旱肆虐的津巴布韦营救野生动物。Tom Jackson has been a writer and editor for 20 years. He has written more than 80 books and contributed to hundreds more. Tom gets to write about a wide range of subjects, everything from axolotls to zoroastrianism. However, his specialties are natural history, technology and all things scientific. Tom spends his days finding fun ways of communicating these kinds of facts, new and old, to all age groups and reading abilities.
Tom lives in Bristol, England, with his wife and three children. He studied zoology at Bristol University and has had spells working at the zoos in Jersey and Surrey. Tom has also worked as a conservationist, which saw him planting trees in Somerset, surveying Vietnamese jungle and rescuing wildlife from drought-ridden Zimbabwe. Writing jobs have also taken him to the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon rain forest, the coral reefs of Indonesia and the Sahara Desert. Nowadays, he can be found mainly in the attic.
